House Hacking Happy Hour 🍻
Live for less. Invest smarter. Build wealth.

Want to reduce — or eliminate — your housing payment while building long-term wealth? It starts with a drink and a plan.
Join The Hampton Collective (THC), Landmark Property Management, and Ace Insurance Partners for a House Hacking Happy Hour at Bar 10 in Chicago. This casual, after-work event is designed for first-time buyers and aspiring investors who want to learn how multi-unit ownership can unlock powerful wealth-building opportunities without needing massive upfront capital.

House hacking is the strategy of purchasing a 2–4 unit property, living in one unit, and renting out the others to help offset your mortgage — sometimes entirely. With the right approach (and as little as 3.5% down sometimes $0 down), you can build equity, generate cash flow, and create a strong foundation for long-term wealth.

What to Expect:
🍹 A relaxed happy hour at Bar 10 that includes 2 complimentary drink tickets per person🎤 A live, informal panel discussion led by THC and Landmark Property Management, plus local experts💬 Open Q&A with trusted lenders, attorneys, inspectors, and real estate professionals📋 Practical, take-home insights you can actually use

Topics We’ll Cover:

How to qualify for low down payment financing
What to look for when buying a 2–4 unit property in Chicago
Tenant considerations, protections, and risk mitigation
Legal, inspection, and insurance essentials
When property management makes sense — and how it helps you scale

Who Should Attend:

First-time buyers ready to stop renting
Future investors exploring multi-unit ownership
Anyone interested in lowering their housing costs through real estate
Individuals and families focused on building long-term wealth

Event Details:
📍 Location: Bar 10, Chicago, IL📆 Date: Monday, February 3🕕 Time: 5:00-7:00pm CT🎟️ Cost: FREE with RSVP (space is limited)

Come for the drinks, tacos and conversation — leave with a clear roadmap for turning your primary residence into your first investment property.

Plans That Did Not Transform
2026-02-05 18:00 - 19:30 | National Public Housing Museum, 919 South Ada Street, Chicago, IL, 60607, United States
David Stovall in Conversation with Open Mike Eagle

Join us at the National Public Housing Museum for a conversation with author, professor, and community organizer David Stovall.
Stovall’s new book, Engineered Conflict: Structural Violence and the Future of Black Life in Chicago, draws together historical and political analysis to shed light on the politics of disposability through housing instability, criminalization, and school closures.
Stovall will be joined by Open Mike Eagle, the museum’s 2026 Artist as Instigator, for a conversation highlighting the second chapter: “Plans That Did Not Transform: the Chicago Housing Authority’s Commitment to Engineered Conflict,” in which Stovall argues that the role of CHA is central in understanding how state-sanctioned violence and abandonment impacts low-income communities.
A book signing will take place after the conversation portion of the event.

About
This event is presented as part of the National Public Housing Museum’s Transformation event series, launched in 2025 to mark the 25th anniversary of the launch of Chicago’s Plan for Transformation, the most ambitious public housing redevelopment initiative in U.S. history.

This event is also part of a year-long event series with Open Mike Eagle as part of his 2026 Artist as Instigator residency, which leverages arts and culture to make creative public policy interventions around housing and related issues.

ABOUT THE BOOK#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK • From the author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and Daisy Jones & The Six comes an epic new novel set against the backdrop of the 1980s space shuttle program about the extraordinary lengths we go to live and love beyond our limits.

Joan Goodwin has been obsessed with the stars for as long as she can remember. Thoughtful and reserved, Joan is content with her life as a professor of physics and astronomy at Rice University and as aunt to her precocious niece, Frances. That is, until she comes across an advertisement seeking the first women scientists to join NASA’s space shuttle program. Suddenly, Joan burns to be one of the few people to go to space.

Selected from a pool of thousands of applicants in the summer of 1980, Joan begins training at Houston’s Johnson Space Center, alongside an exceptional group of fellow candidates: Top Gun pilot Hank Redmond and scientist John Griffin, who are kind and easygoing even when the stakes are highest; mission specialist Lydia Danes, who has worked too hard to play nice; warmhearted Donna Fitzgerald, who is navigating her own secrets; and Vanessa Ford, the magnetic and mysterious aeronautical engineer, who can fix any engine and fly any plane.

As the new astronauts become unlikely friends and prepare for their first flights, Joan finds a passion and a love she never imagined. In this new light, Joan begins to question everything she thinks she knows about her place in the observable universe.

Then, in December of 1984, on mission STS-LR9, it all changes in an instant.

Fast-paced, thrilling, and emotional, Atmosphere is Taylor Jenkins Reid at her best: transporting readers to iconic times and places, creating complex protagonists, and telling a passionate and soaring story about the transformative power of love—this time among the stars.
